SummerStart was this weekend. This is the time when incoming Freshman have the chance to check out our campus and get briefed on things. A lot of them activate their IT accounts, so we need to have our infrastructure in place to handle it. This is the only weekend of the year where we have a formal on-call schedule. I'll not get into the politics of that.
But the weekend went well! I didn't get a call.
But this morning, the main site at www.wwu.edu and everything hosted on that webserver is down. Nothing I fix, since that's a Solaris thing and I'm not a Solaris kinda guy. All of our stuff is behaving this morning.

... now if only the web tool for activating accounts worked most of the time. I am surprised how many students visit the ATUS info desk at summerstart because they can't create accounts due to oh-so-helpful numerical error messages.
